Getting close to harvest again
I racked the SB into a single 6.5 gallon carboy, and 3/4 gallon jug. Smells good. Tastes good…grapefruit, crisp. Now let it sit for a month and settle out. I added 30 ppm SO2.
Also measured the sugars in the zin and syrah…
- Syrah: 23 Brix; 3.3 pH; Some crunchy seeds; some still green. Flavors are really good.
- Zin: 23 Brix; 3.4 pH; Good flavor. The crunchy seeds actually taste pretty good. Skins slightly tannic, but not as much as one might think they should be.
